Simultaneous activity

Enter only devices likely to be active at the same time, not every device you own.

Frequently asked questions

Practical notes about the inputs, assumptions, and result.

No. Enter activities likely to run at the same time. Idle devices usually do not consume their peak profile continuously.

Treat the result as a planning baseline and leave roughly 20% to 40% of connection capacity free for peak demand, Wi-Fi variation, and other background traffic.

This tool estimates bandwidth capacity, not latency, Wi-Fi signal quality, packet loss, upload limits, or a remote service's performance. Those factors can still affect responsiveness.
